Oh yeah some of these items aren’t available yet. Choice items lock you into using the same move but powers up a stat by 1.3 times. Scarf boost speed. Band boost attack and Specs boost special attack. It’s understandable how you don’t have good things because unless you have loads of patience or loads of robux, it’s hard.

That’s why in my opinion, don’t play competitive in PBB. If you really want to try it out then use Pokémon showdown.

It’s a Pokémon battle simulator online and you can customise your team to however you like. It provides many different formats to play including older gens if you want to try them out.

The set I gave aegislash is the battle spot singles special attack tank. Yes I gave physical moves but I’m not lowering attack with lower attack nature. It’s quiet so boost special attack and lower speed (in aegislash case this is beneficial). Shadow ball is supposed to be your main damage output. It’s a special move so the most optimal stat to ev train is special attack. Sacred sword is coverage. If you don’t know, ghost and fighting can hit everything at least neutrally. Shadow sneak is just some priority. Kings shield is an obvious must on all aegislash sets

This set is not the usual swords dance set but still just as deadly. I have used it before bss meta and I literally sweep without losing a single Pokémon if the opponent doesn’t know how to deal with it. Yes gimmicky strat to attack then defend but it’s just so good.

Also never use story team as a competitive team. You will get destroyed unless you are battling a noob.

You have a lot to learn before trying competitive. I have noticed that so many players on this wiki are very uneducated in competitive battling. Of course there are some competitive players like me that do know a thing or two about it but the rest are pretty much noobs (no offence).

Competitive is not just about switch into a Pokémon that has super effective move. That max level charizard from your story team with flamethrower won’t cut it. Unlike npc, you are battling actual people. They know when to switch their Pokémon. They know how to battle. For example, set up, status, entry hazards, terrain and weather effects. These all matter. You can’t rely on healing items because they are not allowed. Almost every Pokémon out there hold items.

Sorry to break it to you but there are some Pokémon which are simply unusable simply because they are not good enough. Yes you could pull of some gimmick to make them work but for the most part, you need the best to be the best. Read up on competitive battle articles, Watch some actual battles, visit competitive Pokémon websites. Actually go out and practice those strategies. Like I said before. Use Pokémon showdown
